PETERSBURG — A St. Petersburg man has been charged with stealing customers' credit card numbers from a marketing company he worked for to buy nearly $30,000 in dinners, limos and other luxuries. After a four-month investigation, deputies arrested Christopher Albert Fregapane, 25, of 4544 40th Ave. N on a felony charge of scheming to defraud, according to an arrest affidavit. Fregapane was in the Pinellas County Jail on Friday in lieu of $10,000 bail. Deputies said Fregapane gathered the credit card information while working as a telemarketer for Eclipse Property Solutions, a St. Petersburg marketing firm he joined in July 2009, said Sgt. Tom Nestor, a Pinellas sheriff's spokesman. Deputies said Fregapane and another employee, Michael Northcutt, 26, listened from their cubicles as co-workers repeated customer credit card information aloud to confirm accounts.
